I love SN, but I can no longer watch the scene where Danny backs his love-interest against a wall and harangues her about how she's stupid to be fucked up over her failed marriage and stupid not to see how great Danny is. It was never his shining-est moment, but years later with more life experience to draw on, I now…

It ain't always about trying to impress you, snowflake.

You'd think people who ran on the platform of spitting in the face of the liberal elite should be pretending they don't want to spend their evenings off at a Broadway musical. It's almost as if they always assumed they could just shit on whoever would get them votes, then go right back to enjoying the same lifestyle…

Well, that's an entirely too rational response. Sir, I'm going to need you to up your ire levels, or vacate the internet immediately.

Girl Who Is "Up For Whatever" Is Secretly Only Up For a Handful of Specific Things

You don't vote for a candidate; you vote for the party's electoral college delegates. If Trump dropped dead or withdrew (he'd have to withdraw; he can't be stripped of the nomination), votes already cast would go to the Republican party, and should the party win, the RNC would select a president. It could happen all…

But "just because" is the actual, correct answer in this case. There should be an LGBTQ character because in a group of 322 people, there would be. Just because. And since the premise of this show demands that people come in sets, two are required.

I'm not going to go so far as to say it's sexist, but I do think it shows some naivete about humans. Your math is fine, but the breakdown is your woeful incuriosity about why it's even plausible that only 5% of the people who want steady gigs writing and creating comedy for a national audience would be women.

Pretty sure this is code for "I yell at women a lot, and they don't seem to like me. I think it's a problem with conflict? Anyway, it's something that has nothing to do with me and they should resolve on their own time and come see me when they're willing to smile and thank me for yelling at them."

I mean…it always kind of was. The entire pilot episode is about Jonah trying and failing to navigate his desire to fit in at his new job when his class background is so obviously at odds with everyone around him. Amy's prickliness comes out of the constant low-grade stress of the defensive and embarrassed feelings…

I mean, some of them used to lynch people and turn dogs on protesters. But yeah, I guess they had their wholesome moments, too.

Yeah, I'm not behind the "just create new characters!" theory of diversity. I mean, yes, do create new characters also, sure. But what you end up doing, if that's all you do, is rope off decades of pop culture, including everything that we existing humans grew up with, and say, None of this is yours, it's ours and…

People are incessantly saying to my partner and me, "You two must be sisters!!!" It's awkward af. She's not my sister, okay? I'm just a fucking narcissist, is that so wrong?

If he were getting two shoulder pads, would it be twice as newsworthy, or not at all?

Well, I think "Captain America": Civil War has proven that if Marvel feels like it, they can headline a team movie with whoever the hell's name they feel like. They can release Groot: Planet Hulk, if they feel like it.

Do you, though? Sometimes I think it's okay to have a certain amount of shame about the things you think, just enough to encourage you to keep your damn mouth shut and pretend like you think of your female co-workers as human professionals.

You said all of that just to get to that last bit, didn't you? I admire you.

I mean…because…some stories are convoluted? Obviously all stories are writers telling stories they want to tell. It's still okay to complain if you think they're bad stories told badly!

Our old lady is Louise; she's outlived the Thelma she came with by many years now. The fella is named Seishirou, which is some kinda anime name because I inherited him from an anime-loving roommate, but because it's a pain in the ass to pronounce, and because he's the only dude in the household, we pretty much just…

Aw, a friend of mine's former kitties were named Ripley and Raimi! They were good little critters.
